Obama Budget Spending : Democrats Drive Up Debt and Deficits

It's just amazing how a group of people can willingly and knowing lie so easily and completely, then expect everyone to believe the lie. But this is the progressive socialist liberal democrat agenda and ideology, and always has been, but only now have they come of the shadows for all to see. They believe it there time to take control.

Sadly many do not see the peril that awaits them as they continue to vote democrat.

What's in the President Obama's $4 trillion budget proposal for 2016? Billions in new health care spending. Christopher Holt, Brittany La Couture and Tara O'Neill of the American Action Forum break down the president's health care budget:
  • Compared to last year's budget, the proposal includes an additional $4.8 billion in discretionary funding for the Department of Health and Human Services, totaling $83.8 billion.
  • It calls for a $77.8 billion increase in mandatory health spending in 2016.
  • Over the next decade, Medicaid spending would increase 62 percent, totaling $567 billion in 2025.
The budget expects $423 billion in Medicare savings over a decade, but Holt, La Couture and O'Neill say there are problems with several of the proposed reforms. For example, it proposes new regulations on biologics, which the administration says would produce $16 billion in savings but which the researchers say would negatively impact innovation.
